Can't argue that. I took a look. 200!?!? Are you fucking kidding me? Surely there have to be more productive things to do than that. Now that's boredom.

I don't know. it only took 15-20 minutes, just like a bit of time on this site or another or watching telly or doing a crossword puzzle or whatever. Just a bit of entertainment and a bit of brain use.

While some of the words were remotely similar... they weren't opposite either.

I'll see if I can make a similar test in Korean, using only synonyms and antonyms.
Pegpig, in case you're wondering why I don't have anything better to do,
I have a new job which doesn't start until a week from Monday.

Hey thanks for the Korean test, I now know how to say 'nobody'!

This one i don't get?

I often here Americans use the word "Dude", like in the movie "The Big Lebowsky", why is Dude a reference to a horse?

I was actually calling myself a Dude, as in "the male s.ex"

Juregen, the word "dude" was originally a derogatory term for anyone who wasn't a cowboy.
A "dude ranch" is a place of business in which persons unaccustomed to riding horses can give it a try.

In other words, dude is to cowboy as 외국인 is to Korean.
